Glass as Art in a New England Victorian Inn

Colored glass as art can be quite spectacular to see.

I've always loved stained glass pieces.  

My earliest recollections of glass as art come from stained glass windows in church.

The Penrose Victorian Inn in Haydenville, Massachusetts, has some breathtaking glass pieces currently hanging inside the inn.

In warmer weather, they are moved to the outside gazebo where guests are treated to luscious breakfasts.

Innkeepers Nancy Zimmer and her husband, Dick, own and run the Penrose.

Several of the glass pieces the innkeepers purchased at the Brimfield Flea Market.
